Two thirds of principals keen to leave job, survey finds

TWO-thirds of vocational school principals would abandon their post if given a satisfactory escape route, a report has revealed.

Members of the Association of Principals of Vocational Schools and Community Colleges have complained of increased workloads from administration, disciplinary and other duties associated with recent laws.

The association represents the principals of the 243 second-level schools run by the VECs, many of which also run adult and further education programmes.
